_ "... sponsored by Baycon."_
Not sure Steven is referring to the same thing.
In the 1980's, I used to run the game room for a regional SF & Fantasy Convention (San Francisco Bay Area) called Baycon. (My wife, Jo Jenson, was involved at the beginning. We actually first crossed paths at Baycon '83, but officially met while working on Baycon '94.)
There are also comments from Kevin Standlee, who resigned from the WorldCon organization amid the Chengdu debacle, because he 'gave the impression WC was not servicing its trademarks.'

The actual solution? These nifty steel weights from Chef's Press.
They nest together, and they're cut to allow steam to rise from your food, rather than get trapped by a solid plate like a cast-iron bacon press.

I wish #Mastodon supported the kinds of "starter packs" just launched by #Bluesky. They're a great way to invite people to join a new platform and quickly find people and organizations that meet their interests.
bsky.social/about/blog/06-26-2…
I'm committed to Mastodon, but I'm on Bluesky to explore and experiment. While I like these starter packs, I won't be using them. I want to invite new people (working on my topics) to join Mastodon, not Bluesky.
@Gargron
I was discussing this already about 2 weeks ago, when BlueSky people boasted they have now this.
I suggest very simple roadmap:
1) make Lists public (optionally) as they were on old Twitter (I know this can be done using CSV export, import, but... come on, is TikTok generation really going to do this?)
2) give pople way to share the public lists (eg. in bio or using some kind of link share in toots, which would do the same stuff as CSV imports, but on single click)
3) give instance moderators privilege to suggest new users following some public lists
I know this approach have dangers of creating echo chambers and amplifying accounts which already have some audience, but 1) it is manual, not algorithm 2) there are many instances with many moderators and there will be many lists 3) it creates kind of market and business model even without directly spamming users (instance moderators can create lists like "our sponsors"...)

I've seen more than a few folks on my Mastodon timeline express enthusiasm about Glaze, a system whose goal is to protect artists against style mimicry by generative models.
If you're using this work, or otherwise have heard of it and thought "wow this is neat I'm happy people are doing it", I strongly recommend you read this blog post by security & privacy researchers Nicholas Carlini & Florian Tramèr about evaluating Glaze's claims: spylab.ai/blog/glaze/

Marcel Marceau used Mime to Save Lives in WWII
"His name is synonymous with the art of mime, a performer whose silent expressions spoke volumes. But beyond his pale-faced persona and invisible walls lies a story of remarkable bravery and heroism. During World War II, Marceau used his unique talents to save children from the horrors of Nazi-occupied France, first using mime to help children quietly escape and keep them calm during perilous escapes across borders. For Marcel and his earliest young students, mime was a powerful tool of survival."
